The weaving technique of a traditional door
screen locally known as Dhalapathar parda
woven by a community called Rangani
has been discussed. It describes the weaving of cloth with colored weft ribbed
designs without the use of Dobby, Jacquard or Jala. The novel feature of this technique is the extra weft
shedding and picking. The technique is very rare and not seen in any
traditional weaving of India.
